Albert Haynesworth gamble pays some dividends for Tampa Bay Buccaneers

"He has been called everything from lazy to uncoachable, and everything in between, but don't expect to hear similar sentiments when asking the Bucs for their impressions of Albert Haynesworth.

Since joining the Bucs after being claimed off waivers three games ago, the defensive tackle seems to have done nothing to perpetuate his reputation.

Elsewhere, Haynesworth has been said to lack consistent effort. What do the Bucs say?

"He's a hard worker," defensive line coach Keith Millard said. "He's been, actually, real easy to coach. I mean, he's been putting in extra time and working hard. He's been great."

In other places, Haynesworth's attitude has been questioned. Here?

"I really can't complain about anything or make up a story for anybody," coach Raheem Morris said. "The guy has just come in here and done what he's been asked to do."

In previous stops, some thought Haynesworth wasn't a good teammate. In Tampa Bay?

"He's just a guy who goes about his business," defensive end Tim Crowder said. "He doesn't go out seeking attention like how the media tries to make it seem."
